    Théma Vitesse Intensité

    This is most definitley the second best coaster in England ( Behind Hyperia ) and a great B&M Invert. Good pacing and the theming is astonishing. Go to this ride first - It opens 1 hour before all of the other rides if you have a hotel pass.

    Théma Sans intérêt

    A kiddy ride with animals that is actually named Nia's Animal Coaster. It even has a story style intro. Avoid this if you are tall. This hurt my back.

    A rollercoaster with several surprises! Very well balanced and fun ride. However, lean your head forward a bit unless you want a headache. I did the mistake to press my head back on my second ride and it got rough.

    Fun Trop court

    My initial impression was very positive with the big swing launch and I still like that element in the back row. It's fun and solid but also short and is missing a strong finish.

    First Drop Théma Fun Trop court Déception !

    Well, there you have it. My least favorite B&M coaster. Now, don't get me wrong, the theming is really good. The pre-shows are all well made and the story is told in a unique way. The seats and restraints are your typical B&M over the shoulder restraints, which is great. The dark ride segment whilst on the train is also a great way to get your adrenaline pumping and really make you anticipate that drop. Except that drop is just good. It's nothing outstanding in my opinion.. Python in the same park has a shallower but better drop in my opinion. The immelmann is quite intense and has some whip on the side seats. The zero-G roll is floaty in the middle and whippy on the sides. The helix has foot tingling G-force and the final hill has a pop of floater airtime. But after those 5 elements, the ride is already over. It lasts as long as the second half of a Vekoma boomerang and you can't help but feel like you expected more. There's all that build up and what you actually get is a very short ride that tries to tell a story but the experience is 80% story and 20% coaster. The pre-shows, wait for the pre-shows, loading system that uses tickets and popularity of this ride make it a very hard one to marathon. The bag system can vary depending on attendance and train in service throughout the day. Earlier in the day, when attendance is at its highest, you leave your bag before the pre-shows and get handed a wristband to pick it up at the exit. Later in the day, you leave your bag on a shelf on the ride platform.

    First Drop Intensité Fluidité

    Python is a fun old Vekoma looper. The new trains with vest restraints eliminate any headbanging and the retrack made it super smooth and made adjustments to the banking so that the transitions are smoother. The first drop has a really good pop of airtime in the back and is followed by two intense back to back loops. They made me grey out every time in the back car. They are a bit less intense in the front but you still feel relatively similar forces (without the grey out). The transition after that has a pop of airtime and is glossy smooth. The double corkscrews almost feel like B&M corkscrews with the faster transition down the middle. The helix is also really intense and just pure fun. Python is honestly better than Baron 1898 in my opinion. It has a better drop than Baron's (at least from my experience), better positive G forces and a more straight to the point layout. I think that layout wise, Python does what Baron 1898 does but better. The only department where Baron absolutely dominates Python is theming. Python barely has any theming, which seems to be the norm for these old Vekoma MK-1200 coasters. All in all, Python is my 2nd (or 3rd, depends on how you count it) favorite coaster at Efteling, behind Joris en de Draak.

    Bonne suprise ! Confort

    The best Vekoma boomerang I’ve done, 3 tame but nice air time hills and an actual spike, not a cop out double down, solid coaster, looks great intertwined with Fianna Force.

    Inversions Confort Fun

    Incredible coaster! So much fun, the two inversions feel great, the entire area is coming along nicely, great drop, some nice moments of airtime near the end, some whippy transitions, great moments of high positive G’s, honestly a really really great coaster!

    Intensité Déception ! Layout

    Always hated this ride for being a duller version of Nemesis, but I rode on the front for the first time today and even though what it does is very disappointing it was much more intense! Loop, Helix’s and Corkscrews all very Positive G heavy, ranked half a star higher because of this!

    First Drop Débit Hangtime Vibrations Trop court Théma

    Incredible coaster, was scared I would be underwhelmed but far from it! Negatives: I got quite a bad rattle on row 4/air time moments aren’t that strong or memorable/splash down is really late and disappointing,/ride feels too short/Theming is pretty bland, they tried just not that hard, missed opportunity to be called Icarus. Positives: First drop is incredible and super unique, up there with likes of Shambhala and Hyperion for me/outer bank is again super unique and disorientating, an extremely memorable moment/Zero G stall is so so good, better than Zadra’s imo/all the hang time is wicked but still really comfortable. By far the best Coaster in the UK.
